We can count on the Oscars to give us a few viral moments every year, and this year’s ceremony certainly delivered. We’re bringing you five moments from this year’s Academy Awards that broke the internet and set Twitter on fire.

Hugh Grant’s Awkward Interview

The show’s most viral moment took place before the ceremony even started when Hugh Grant stopped to talk with Ashely Graham and gave us one of the most cringe-worthy celebrity interviews in existence.

Andrew Garfield’s Silly Face

Andrew Garfield didn’t expect the camera would pan to him when the host Jimmy Kimmel mentioned Spider-Man, and his meme-worthy expression said it all.

Viral Speeches

Oscar winners gave us several epic moments in their speeches, from Ke Huy Quan saying, “Mom, I just won an Oscar” to Michelle Yeoh addressing the historic significance of her victory.

Tems’ Dramatic Headpiece
